Looks good.

Just as a tip, when modelling organics it's usually good to have your shape made first, say, a low poly not-so-interesting mesh - just to work around, that way you'll find your mesh much easier to control and of course the detail you add is the detail you need and it ends up much cleaner in the end. Also, with the detail, take it gradually, I suppose the concept analogy could be when you're drawing you draw rough circles/rectangles to get the basic shape, then draw the outline, start sketching the extra details and then define them more.

Keep it up dude.

Make a low-poly version of the model BEFORE using any subsurf/sculpting tools, it really helps the topology of the mesh and you don't end up with the mess you've got now.

Are we looking at the same pictures?

Lazerus you did this with another one of your models that you submitted for the creature modeling comp or something.. its definitely not the way you should be modeling. You'll get much better results by modeling a base mesh first in low-poly, then adding edge loops where you need them to create more detail.

Harsh but honest: right now it looks like a cloth draped over what potentially could be a model. Way too high poly. Also remember that even if you're trying to model high poly, if you dont use the polygons properly in the first place, it won't look any better than low poly.

Here's an example of a base mesh for your model:



Bare with me as I still dont know what its supposed to be .
